    Hi, Anonymous 

    According to your description, I think you can try to create a new table for the slicer and create a measure to achieve this, you can try this:

    1. Click “Enter data” to create a new table:

     

    1. Create a measure:

     

    Dynamic column =

var _selectedfunction=SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[Function])

return

SWITCH(

    _selectedfunction,

    "HR",MAX('Table'[HR Score]),

    "Other",MAX('Table'[Other Score]),

BLANK())

     

    1. Create a table chart and a slicer and place them like this:

     

    And you can get what you want.

Hey Anonymous ,

 

try the following measure and adapt it to your tables:

MyDynamicMeasure =
VAR vSelected = SELECTEDVALUE( Slicer[Function] )
VAR vResult =
    SWITCH(
        vSelected,
        "HR", SUM( myTable[HR Score] ),
        SUM( myTable[Other Score] )
    )
RETURN
    vResult
